Public Health<br />

and Social Justice<br />

in the Age of Chadwick<br />

Britain, 1800-1854<br />

Christopher Hamlin<br />

University of Notre Dame<br />

Christopher Hamlin, auteur <strong>van</strong><br />

‘A Sci<strong>en</strong>ce of Purity’ staat bek<strong>en</strong>d<br />

als e<strong>en</strong> autoriteit op het gebied <strong>van</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong> geschie<strong>de</strong>nis <strong>van</strong> hygiëne. Wanneer<br />

e<strong>en</strong> nieuw boek <strong>van</strong> zijn hand<br />

verschijnt, kunn<strong>en</strong> we verwacht<strong>en</strong><br />

dat hij ons nieuwe inzicht<strong>en</strong> zal<br />

br<strong>en</strong>g<strong>en</strong>, op heel eig<strong>en</strong> wijze geformuleerd.<br />

In zijn laatste boek<br />

durft hij het aan om <strong>de</strong> klassieke <strong>en</strong><br />

steeds herhaal<strong>de</strong> geschie<strong>de</strong>nis <strong>van</strong><br />

Edwin Chadwick als pionier <strong>van</strong> <strong>de</strong><br />

gezondheidstechniek in Groot-Brittannië<br />

te relativeer<strong>en</strong> <strong>en</strong> opnieuw te<br />

interpreter<strong>en</strong>.<br />

The 1830s and 1840s are the formative<br />

years of mo<strong>de</strong>rn public<br />

health in Britain, wh<strong>en</strong> the poor<br />

law bureaucrat Edwin Chadwick<br />

conceived his vision of public<br />

health through public works and<br />

began the campaign for the construction<br />

of the kinds of water and<br />

sewerage works that ultimately<br />

became the standard compon<strong>en</strong>ts<br />

of urban infrastructure throughout<br />

the <strong>de</strong>veloped world. This book first<br />

explores that vision and campaign<br />

against the backdrop of the great<br />

‘condition-of-England’ questions<br />

of the period, of what rights and<br />

expectations working people could<br />

justifiably have in regard to political<br />

participation, food, shelter and<br />

conditions of work. It examines the<br />

ways Chadwick’s sanitarianism fit<br />

the political needs of the much-hated<br />

Poor Law Commission and of<br />

Whig and Tory governm<strong>en</strong>ts, each<br />

seeking some antidote to revolutionary<br />

Charitism. It th<strong>en</strong> reviews the<br />

Chadwickians’ efforts to solve the<br />

host of problems they met in trying<br />

to implem<strong>en</strong>t the sanitary i<strong>de</strong>a: of<br />

what responsibilities c<strong>en</strong>tral and local<br />

units of governm<strong>en</strong>t, and private<br />

contractors, were to have; of how<br />

townspeople could be persua<strong>de</strong>d to<br />

embark on untried public technologies;<br />

of where the new public health<br />

experts were to come from; and of<br />

how elegant technical <strong>de</strong>signs were<br />

to be fitted to the unique social, political<br />

and geographic circumstances<br />

of individual towns.<br />

Rejecting the view that Chadwick’s<br />

program was a simple response to<br />

an obvious urban problem Professor<br />

Hamlin argues that at the time a<br />

‘public health’ focusing narrowly on<br />

sanitary public works repres<strong>en</strong>ted<br />

a retreat of public medicine from<br />

involvem<strong>en</strong>t with the great social issues<br />

of the Industrial Revolution. In<br />

exploring the views of medical m<strong>en</strong><br />

who were critical of Chadwick,<br />

Hamlin suggests the parameters<br />

of a public health that might have<br />

be<strong>en</strong>, in which concern for health<br />

and well-being becomes the foun-<br />
